Greetings!
The sun is out this long weekend and I couldn’t be more thrilled.
I watched A Place Called Silence this weekend. It was nice to see a Chinese thriller in the theatres, but unfortunately, it didn’t deliver. I correctly guessed the killer right at the beginning (it was too obvious).
Here’s my reading highlight:
The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren
3 stars
I didn’t understand why graduate school was part of the plot for both characters. We could have done without them knowing each other then, especially since it felt unbelievable that they lived together for two years but had little to no interactions.
There was great commentary on wealth. What does it mean to grow up in a rich family, what does it mean to live with excess and overconsume, and how does money taint relationships? This commentary and Anna’s likeability are why I gave the novel 3 stars.
